Chilkat for Android™ Library Download and Install Instructions

Downloads:

(For Chilkat C/C++ Android native libs, click HERE.)

The downloads contain the following:

Step 1: Download and Unzip in your Project Directory

An Android project directory is the one that contains other sub-directories named "src", "res", "assets", "gen", etc.

Unzip. None of your existing project files will be overwritten. Unzipping will create .java files in the "src/com/chilkatsoft" subdirectory. It will also create shared libraries (.so) in

• libs/armeabi
• libs/armeabi-v7a
• lib/mips
• lib/x86

Step 2: Add Chilkat-related Code to your Source and Rebuild the Project

The Chilkat-related code is shown in boldface below. The Chilkat shared library must be loaded via System.loadLibrary when your application starts.

package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        TextView tv = new TextView(this);
        
        CkCrypt2 crypt = new CkCrypt2();
        
        // Display the version of the CkCrypt2 class
        tv.setText(crypt.version());
      	
        setContentView(tv);
    }
    
    
    static {
        // IMPORTANT: The name of the library depends on which Chilkat build is used.
        // If using the complete build, call System.loadLibrary("chilkat").
        // This example uses the Crypt-only build:
        
        System.loadLibrary("chilkatcrypt");
    }
    
}

Additional Notes

• The Chilkat Android library supports Android Platform 2.0 (API Level 5) and above. Chilkat has been tested on Honeycomb (Android 3.0, API Level 11). The Chilkat library should be compatible with future versions of Android.
• If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary, then you will see the following error message at application startup: "The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
